Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2011-08-03 09:49:40 EDT 
Build ID: Eclipse 3.7 Indigo on Windows 7

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an empty project "Foo"
2. File > New > Folder
3. Erroneously type "X:\" in the "Folder Name" box --> observe error message
4. Press the "Advanced>>" button 3 times
5. Clear the Folder name box and press the "Advanced>" button

--> The advanced section is shown 3 times, dialog becomes unusable :)

Also when Copying "X:\" into the clipboard and pasting that into the "Folder Name" box, an ugly dialog popup is shown and an error is logged:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path must include project and resource name: /sample
